SisyMoney, the meaning of the name
Let me explain the name before I explain the blog. The name SisyMoney is a combination of two words – that’s right two words. One you can easily figure out and if you can’t than don’t worry this is a place for you too. The first word “Sisy” comes from the name “Sisyphus”.
Sisyphus comes from Greek mythology and the following is from Wikipedia: He was a king. Sisyphus promoted navigation and commerce but was avaricious and deceitful, violating the laws of hospitality by killing travelers and guests. He took pleasure in these killings because they allowed him to maintain his dominant position. From Homer onwards, Sisyphus was famed as the craftiest of men. He seduced his niece, took his brother’s throne and betrayed Zeus’s secrets. As a punishment from the gods for his trickery, Sisyphus was compelled to roll a huge rock up a steep hill, but before he could reach the top of the hill, the rock would always roll back down again, forcing him to begin again, for eternity. The maddening nature of the punishment was reserved for Sisyphus due to his hubristic belief that his cleverness surpassed that of Zeus.
Today, the name can be used as an adjective “Sisyphean” meaning that an activity is unending and/or repetitive. It could also be used to refer to tasks that are pointless and unrewarding.
When you put the two words together SisyMoney you should start to get an idea what this blog is about. I will give a full explenation in the next post.
